Avaliação de genótipos de bananeira em Goiânia, estado de Goiás

Resumo

In Brazil, 60% of the area planted with banana are of the Prata, Prata Anã and Pacovan cultivars, However, despite the importance and representativeness of these genotypes they are all susceptible to the major pests and diseases of this crop. The objective here was to evaluate the growth, development and yield of 23 banana genotypes: Caipira, Calipso, Bucaneiro, FHIA-02, FHIA-17, Thap Maeo, FHIA-01, FHIA-18, PA42-44, PA94-01, ST42 -08, PV42- 53, PV42-142-34 and PV79, PV94-01, PV42-81, YB42-21-03 YB42, YB42-07 Pacovan, Prat, Prata Anã, Maçã and Grand Naine in the city of Goiânia, in the state of Goiás, with a view to matching genotypes to commercial production systems in the region. The experiment was carried out at Embrapa Technology Transfer at the Goiânia Business Office. An experimental design of randomized blocks with three replications was adopted. The following characteristics were evaluated: plant height, pseudostem circumference, number of living leaves at flowering and at harvest, flowering and harvest cycle of the first bunch, number of hands per bunch, fruit weight, bunch and hand weight, fruit number, length and diameter. Data underwent variance analysis and the means were compared by the Scott-Knott test at 5%. The results of this work qualify the cultivars FHIA 17, Tropical, FHIA 01, Grand Naine and Buccaneer as promising for incorporation into the production systems of the region.
